{{Article quote|Supreme Commander Rho 'Barutamee unconsciously clenched his fist as he reviewed the intelligence report. Human forces were probing his defences from every side, intent on finding some vulnerability to exploit. Under normal circumstances he would ignore their taunts, but it was clear this world was far more important to the humans than he had originally realized. In addition, a massive [[Ministry of Resolution]] fleet was on its way, and his artefact teams were bogged down on the surface. For the first time in decades, Rho tasted fear. If the fleet couldn't locate something of value soon, he would be forced to either evacuate and abandon many of his [[Zealot]]s, or face interrogation by the [[Hierarch]]s for his impudence and apparent ineptitude.}}
'''Scenario Six: Left Jab''' is the sixth mission in the campaign of ''[[Halo: Fleet Battles]]''.

==Scenario==
{{Article quote|The UNSC has concocted an audacious plan - [[Operation: UPPER CUT]] - to destroy the [[Long Night of Solace]] by seizing a Covenant Corvette, the [[Ardent Prayer]], and using it to carry a sabotaged slipspace drive core near the supercarrier - detonating it close enough that the resulting rupture would cripple or destroy the massive vessel. [[Operation: LEFT JAB]] is a supporting mission to distract the Covenant, coordinated with the [[UNSC Savannah]] while it supported [[Noble Team]]'s seizure of the Ardent Prayer.}}
